 Hello, welcome to Trophy TV. This is the match preview ever. Travel to Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup second round first... I'm not going to say first leg, bloody hell, I'm going back to years. Don't give us more legs. No, no, no more legs. It's a one-off, it's a one-off second round of the Carabao Cup to be decided on the night, of course, on penalties if either team hasn't sorted it in the 19 minutes. It's a battle of two very poor sides at the moment. Doncaster bottom of league two, Everton bottom of the Premier League. They scored any goals, though? They have scored a goal, yeah. So they're winning at life, aren't they? Yeah, they're winning, they're smashing it, yeah. Really. Big game, innit? From an Everton perspective, surely, surely this is the game in which we scored a goal. Do you think so, innit? Surely. I think it's a big game in terms of where the season's panning out, obviously. I'm open to see it, you know, a strong team. Don't really want to see too many changes. Excuse me, I'd like to maybe see Timothy playing down the middle. But other than that, I wouldn't want to see too many changes from the side. I think you need to take this seriously, like you say, get some goals, get some confidence and get a win on the board and get into the next round. Realistically, you know, you're talking about the multi-years since we won a trophy. This is the trophy that gives you the best opportunity to win, albeit it's still very difficult in this day and age with the strength of squads, the top teams have got. But, you know, this is something we should just take seriously. Realistically, we've got a possibility of getting into the third round and just, you know, what, you're three or four games then away from getting somewhere. I think that there is the interesting thing with this is because I've seen a piece today talking about the changes he could make. It was like nine changes or 10 changes and I was like, you know, do we want, do we want Javagin here to play? Do we want, listen, I'll say Javagin because Javagin was played in the first and played against Manchester City in the first quarter. So it's not that and played well in pre-season. So I imagine he will play. I think he might well take pick for that for this. But there was all, you know, people suggest on all kinds of changes at the back and bring Michael King back in and claim Ben Goffrey. You know, you're looking, I think, I imagine Michael Enco will play because he's come back to fitness. Goffrey, I imagine, will play. Personally, I'll play Brantwick and Goffrey and just let them. I know what you mean, if you start messing with it too much, then you get a totally disjuncted performance. And it highlights your heightings, donkastas off the team in the season, doesn't it, for an upset? For me, I'd look to try and build some partnerships. I'd rather see Tarkovs game Brantwick. Just get the job done and if you're three in a lop, if you're three in a lop after an hour or so, bring them off. Tarkovs you off, you know, and put Goffrey on or something. But, you know, you've got five subs you can use. What about the likes of Tante, you know, who is like, not fit in E probably? Needs a plenty to go. I think Michael Enco's a good shot, and I think it's a good shot, not just because he needs the fitness. I think Ashley Young's, a couple of last couple of performances haven't been great, so it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to just get that balance with the left foot on the left hand side as well. So I think he'd be a good one to come in, but I wouldn't mess it around, honestly. I think they really need to find a way of playing. What about Dobbin? Dobbin's an interesting one, cos I actually thought he'd done all right. I mean, he wasn't amazing by any set, but at least he was bright and he was trying to get at them, but played the whole season and leave one last season. These are the lead two side, without being disrespectful to Doncaster at the moment, the bottom of the whole pyramid, aren't they? And this should be again a Dobbin can really get at these and cause them. He's just, I'm for his own confidence as well. And, you know, you don't know what's going to happen. If I'm bringing all the winger in this week before the window shots, is he going to be allowed out on loan or will they just keep me round the squat cos he can play a couple of roles, but would you leave him in and see if he can build on Saturday? I'd leave him. What I'd like to see is, I'd like to keep Dobbin in, put Dan June me out wide, Timothy up front, I'd take a dress of Ghana gay out and I'd put James Ghana into centre of the field. I would keep the back four other than Michael Enco and I'd keep pick for the goal, to be honest, and I'd just go, right, let's just win this game. Let's just win it. We won't keep pick for the goal though, will we? He's had it lightly too, but I would. I think he needs, he just needs, you know, to keep playing, keep that continuity with the back four. I think they need to find something and quickly they've got an international break coming up soon. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, we've got, we've got Chef United sat in and there's a break, isn't it? I think, obviously, evidently, at the time of the game, just about to, and that's better, or, you know, close to an action better, and some people will be hoping that he's involved. I don't know whether he would be, you know, if he's been playing, he's fit, so whether or not the manager puts him straight in, and not straight into the team, but as I'm on the bench, will she, but what would you do? If he is fit, or do you think he needs a week of dice fit before? Look, if he's fit, you put him on the bench, wouldn't you? Get him down with the lads integrated into a wee work from a matchday perspective. I wouldn't look to start up, certainly not in this game. So, yeah, if he was available, I'd have him on the bench. You know, let's not have two goalies on the bench. And, you know, have those options. The iron, he was on, sadly, we had three strikers on the bench, didn't have any on the pitch, but we had three on the bench. They just, just unfortunate none of them are particularly good enough. But, you know, I'd look, I'd have him on there if he was available, cos, you know, he's been done as pre-season in Serie A, and he's played a couple of games already, so he's obviously fit. You know, get him involved. What about the likes of Tyra Rangyango, who went, you know, played in League One with Beton last season, went to Forrest Green and got injured and was off for the rest of the season. He's been around the first team all pre-season, played in games, he'd come on a billet, albeit for 90 seconds. Yeah. Not tempted to put him in this one. I just, I just wouldn't mess with it too much. I really wouldn't. I'd have him on the bench in an ideal situation, which, look, we know, that might not be the case. In either situation, get a few goals ahead and bring those lads on. Absolutely perfect. Let them see the game off. Let them see the game off, give them off, and I'll pay perfect. But, you know, let's just get some continuity, to get some goals, to get a win. We need some positivity going into the weekend. You know, if we're going into that Sheffield United game off the back of getting knocked out by these on pens or something, you know, it becomes, the pressure's ramped up even more. So, let's just be professional, get the job done, and then move on on to the weekend. Look on the Doncaster, play five games, one non-drone, one loss, four. They scored four goals. I don't know what that feels like. It's got four goals. Can see the 12th. So, the average can see them more than two a game. Beating at the weekend, at MK Don's, two-one. Not counting beaten three, one on the week before. This is it. If you're Sean Dyche on the coaching staff, this is a game you want to put your marker down here. Everton want to go here. Again, I'm not saying this would happen, but this is the kind of game where, like, Premier League teams might go and win, like, four-nil or something, and they get boost the confidence. I'm not saying I haven't done that. But Sean Dyche will be looking for that, but he's looking for this kickstart. You know, I haven't dominated three-point games and haven't been able to score a goal. 16 shots on target, I think, in the two-one games without scoring, and, OK, Villar away was shot, and, hey, how? He will look to try and get some momentum going into a game at Sheffield United at the weekend, which would be very difficult, even though they're struggling as well. Play what I'm going to say to them. They don't, well, I mean, they don't, yeah. If 12% or whatever possession is playing well, they don't all right, but, you know, they stuck to the task and were well-organised, absolutely. So it's going to be a tough game for Evan. From Dyche's point of view, how important is this game? Because obviously, you know, we stayed up by the scruff of our, you know, the skin of our teeth last season. He started the season poorly. And, you know, pressure is mounting, because there are always dozen this job. You know, no managers ever, three games away from getting the sack. Two games I've ever done in recent times. How big a game is this for him and his coaching staff? Because I've ever meant to lose this game. I think that's the answer. I think you've just answered it yourself. But what about, sorry, just on top of it, what could a win do for him then? I think as an individual game in a one-off, it's not the biggest thing in Evan's history, of course, it's not. But it's off the back of the momentum. Like you said, if we'd have picked up six points so far, go on to this, rest a few. It's great to move up, will it? Yeah. So, but in the context of where we are and what's going on with the season, no 100% I think it's a big game. I think it's a big game because of the momentum to go into the weekend. I just, I just don't like the idea of going into that game in Sheffield tonight to having lost four games on the bounce. Do you think it makes a difference to the players that have everything, say Evan went on 1-3-0 at Doncaster, played all right 1-3-0. Do you think that, do you think it would translate him like confidence wise or would it just be well, it was Doncaster and this is... No, I don't, I mean, you've played football, and when you play, wins a win, isn't it? Yeah. You know, we sometimes talk about the importance of, you know, it's nice to get some wins in pre-season and blah, blah, blah, just to get in the habit and so on and so forth. It's a competitive game, you know, it's a league cup game. Just go out, get the job, don't be professional. Put out a strong side, you know, like I say, if you can get Timothy in there, we can create the chances we've been creating. Hopefully. I would fancy that I'll have to be able to, you know, hopefully pick up a goal or two. You know, nice confidence for him going in, going into the rest of the season. Dan Dumech and maybe, you know, cause a bit of problems. Dobbin, you know, perform well and even if he doesn't then stay around, it might get him a better loan move and whatever. So there's bits to go on it. I just think just get it done. You've five subs. As soon as the game's done, let's get the players off that we need to protect for Saturday. That's what I would personally do. Do I think he'll do that? I'm not convinced he will. I think he'll. Not mass, but I think there'll be, you know, a few, like you say, like Targoski coming out, Pickford coming out. And look, they may well work. They may well work. But to me, that's centre of our partnership. I just want to see Bran Tweed Targoski long term. Now just we stick through it, through thick and thin. It's going to be ups and downs from it. But we stick with that partnership. And this type of game where you would fancy them to be in control. They can build that relationship up without being under mass pressure. And then you can take that into the weekend. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be interesting because, like we said, it's a pressure game, but it's a game that should win being where we are. Both teams are struggling. And we need to kickstart on this might be it. Well, hopefully this can be it. Because that's all you can be. It's hopeful, isn't it? At some stage, surely it's going to change. Our luck in front of goal is going to change. You think so, won't it? Well, you'd hope so. You'd hope so strange of things have happened. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. It'll be a tricky game because Don Castle will be well up for it. Why wouldn't you be? Evans Conference isn't great yet, but it does represent a good opportunity. I think that the likes of you should give him a start. There's no, in my opinion, sorry, just to go back before we finish. Be no point, really, like starting Neil Mawpai, you're looking to get out the door when this is a good opportunity for you should give him a start. For that type of signing, yeah. Absolutely.
